    1 carton : 8 boxes for 2.80 = 2.80/8 = 0.35 per box (All natural juice)

    1 carton : 6 boxes for 1.98 = 1.98/6 = 0.33 per box (Just juice)

    difference between the 2 is 0.02 (2 cents)

    if she paid 7.92 for x cartons of Just Juice, 7.92 / 0.33 = 24 boxes ... and there are 6 boxes per carton ... 24/6 = 4 cartons were bought for $ 7.92

    price for same number of juice boxes of All Natural juice is:

    24 * 0.35 = $ 8.40
